University Ministry
Reconnecting the gospel and academic work from Cambridge to the UK and Continental Europe
Too often, Christians at university live divided lives. Through our projects and partnerships, we are promoting a new normal where we reconnect the gospel and our academic work so that we serve God both:
- From Christ to our work: studying from a Christian worldview, and
- From our work to Christ: drawing on our field in persuasive evangelism
We promote this evangelical intellectual vision by providing training and support to:
- Academic evangelistic speakers: through the FEUER Academic Speakers’ Network
- Christian students and scholars: fostering intellectual and spiritual formation through conferences, study groups, seminars, and resources
- University ministry partners: offering consultancy to leaders and supporting networks of Christian academics in partnership with UCCF and IFES

Through the FEUER Academic Speakers’ Network we draw together evangelical academics around John Lennox. They engage in lectures and dialogues which unfold the big questions in their field to introduce the gospel.

Forming a Christian Mind
